I masked the fuselage stripes which were easy enough and painted these in the same Red Madder colour as the tail as this paint went on at unit level. I cut some masks for The Hinomaru and added these in red mixed from red madder and Tamiya hull red to give a variation on the red to replicate the factory markings.

Here masked up..

and with all the masking removed...

The fuselage Hinomaru has a white border which I also masked..

Nothing beats painted markings..

I’m going to leave the paint to harden for 24 hrs then I’ll sort the anti glare panel and leading edge ID bands and possibly paint the no step areas on the upper wing..
